My voice is something is makes me who I am today. I use it to sing and perform, and I plan on pursuing a career as a music artist. Its a gift but it sometimes gets annoying when I strain it or get vocal injuries. Due to my voice changing I recently have had a lot of trouble with it, but I know that I can get through it.

As a Christian, the Bible app has positively impacted me because it helps me stay in the word. Sometimes I get so caught up with what I'm doing in a day that I don't spend enough time with God. So having daily reminders to stay in the word and pray really helps me.

PHYSICAL EVIRONMENT-

Something that negatively affects my physical health is wildfire smoke. In North Idaho, there aren't too many fires however, in the summer the smoke from California, Oregon, Washington, Canada, and other neighboring places affects my asthma.

I love being active at sunsets. In the summer I skate down the sidewalks and paths while the orange sky surrounds me. Maybe I got a couple friends with me too. Its just a refreshing moment that brings me peace.

SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT +

My friend David and I have been friends since second grade. In 2021 I moved away from California, but we still visit each other every summer. Whenever we meet it feels like no time went by, and we pick up right where we left off. He'll always be a close friend that I'll never loose.

CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT

When it comes to being a cultural environment I love being a part of the Kroc basketball scrimmages. I have a lot of friends that play there, and it's just a lot of fun. We don't always win because there's always that seven-footer. Either way it is a fun environment and a place to get better.

Even though I enjoy it, my phone can negatively impact me. Having a phone can be both a gift and a curse. I spend too much time endlessly scrolling when I could be doing something productive with my life. Lately, I've been limiting my screen time and feeling much better about it. I still enjoy using it, but you can never have too much of something.

LIFESTYLE FACTOR +

Going to the gym is a lifestyle factor that positively impacts me. There's always so much more that I can learn and do to better myself.

LIFESTYLE FACTOR -

I'll admit I eat quite a bit of carbs and sugar. I moderate myself now, but it can still be easy to gorge on. Making a plan is something I've done. I find that limiting amounts of sugar and carbs has helped reduce acne and exhaustion.

LIFESTYLE FACTOR THAT IMPACTS OTHERS

Talking to someone about how you're feeling and where your mental state is at, is important. Many people are afraid to talk about their feelings and result in hurting themself, or suicide.
